About
The character 羑 combines an upper component 羊 (sheep or goat) with a lower component 久. In ancient historical records it functions primarily as a proper noun, designating the location where a significant dynastic founder was imprisoned. In certain classical texts it also appears as an alternative written form of a verb meaning to guide or entice. Its usage remains heavily restricted to these specific historical and textual contexts, and it rarely occurs in modern vernacular writing.
